To all fruit growers-

I recently(yesterday) bought three (I think)bareroot blueberry plants on sale at Walmart, they came in biodegradable cardboard 'pots' which were filled with what seemed to be mostly bark chips. I watered them as soon as I brought then home but it went straight through the chips and out of the pot and this morning it was just about dry to the touch; also ( I don't have much experience with bareroots or fruit so bear with me) they look just about gone, I mean, they're green but dry and twig-like, I guess I'm just asking if they're alive or not and what I can do to make them grow.

Thanks in advance for any answers
